Top 10 Reasons for Losing Weight

Last year we posted the top 10 reasons why we want to lose weight. I tried to find the old list to see what I'd written, but couldn't. So I thought I'd start a new thread.

Here are the top 10 reasons why I want to lose weight:[list=1][*]After working a long time on my inside, I want my outside to look as good .
[*]I never ever want to see that big (50lb) weight on the doctor scale move up over the 250 lb mark.
[*]I do not want to look like some of the older members of my family who have serious weight and health problems and man was I headed that way.
[*]Feeling healthy.
[*]More energy.
[*]That pesky butt crawl thing from getting close to moving up the next size in clothes.
[*]Sleeveless tops, I love 'em, my arms....
[*]Control top pantyhose, why do most large sizes have them?
[*]So my knees won't ache so bad (I hope).
[*]Just because (OK so I couldn't think of 10)[/list=1]

1. To be more healthier
2. Because I know I can and I know I should
3. Increase my confidence
4. So that I can buy a leather pair of trousers
5. So that I can change in communal changing rooms and not worry about what I look like to others
6. Wider choice of shops to shop in and clothes that look like clothes and not large square pieces of material
7. Because my hubby remembers exactly how much I weighed when we first started dating 9 years ago
8. To be able to run for the bus, catch it and then not spend the whole journey trying to get my breath back
9. To wear the slinky black dress I wore after I graduated - only been worn once!
10. So that I can hit goal and stop paying to attend WW!

Mine aren't necessarily in order of importance - they could all be the #1 reason, depending on the day and my mood.

I want to reach my weight goal because I want....

1. To look great.
2. To be healthy and avoid my inherited health risks.
3. To breathe easier.
4. To be able to run farther and faster.
5. To wear my "little" jeans!
6. To be a positive example to my younger family & friends.
7. To be stronger than my cravings!

and, what the heck... might as well be honest....

I want to reach my weight goal because I want.....
8. To be the one to make heads turn!

1 to have more energy
2 so that I can go hiking with friends an not feel that I am slowing them down
3 so that I can wear the clothes in my closet
4 to look better
5 for self pride
6 to be healthier
7 so that I like what I see when I look in the mirror
8 to be less limited in activities
